When we had this at my husband's grandmother's place, it was so good that I asked for the recipe.I always thought that this dish was meant for the New Year's feast, but realized that eating it in the summer is really refreshing and tasty.When I brought it to a BBQ, it was really popular with my Australian friends."Use top quality vinegar" is the helpful hint from my grandmother-in-law who taught me this recipe.It takes a lot of work to cut thinly, but it pays off with a very delicious namasu.In winter, top with a little bit of yuzu to make fragrant. For 2 small bowls. Recipe by akimidori

Using my family's favorite ratio for amazu (sweet vinegar) dishes, I made this red and white salad for New Year's.The key to making it delicious is to firmly squeeze out the water after the daikon and carrot have wilted.◆Other amazu (sweet vinegar) dishes ◆Turnips Marinated in Amazu;Myoga Marinated in Amazu; Recipe by Banyangarden

Introducing cuisines using local products.This is a mixture of diced apples, crab-flavored seafood sticks, cucumbers and grated “daikon” radish, dressed with sweet vinegar (vinegar, sugar and salt). Grated radish is used to resemble snow. The color combination of red apples, crab sticks and white daikon radish expresses “kohaku,” the good omen.Volunteer Translators: Students in the Translation & Interpretation Seminar, Sapporo University*The Apple is the symbol of Toyohira Ward

I had lots of freshly-harvested daikon radishes and apples, so I made this.This is a "makanai ryori" (staff dinner) dish we make at my workplace.When you chop the apple, it will oxidize and the color will change pretty quickly, so you may want to prepare the vinegar first and then throw the apple right into the vinegar. Rather than sweet apples, a more sour variety would probably be better for this, so please adjust the amount of sugar. Recipe by Ryourinin TK

This is based off a recipe I saw in a book. I revised it and make this dish every year.The key is not to squeeze out the excess water too tightly. Recipe by jun120121

Most of my family members don't care for a strong vinegar taste, so I made it milder by adding honey.If you don't have any kombu, dashi stock granules are fine as well.If you serve the namasu in a hollowed-out yuzu or kabosu citrus cups, it will have a wonderful fragrance. This is optional.By soaking in water, it'll remove the bitterness of raw vegetables. For 4 servings. Recipe by Momora

This recipe was taught to me by my mother.Adjust the amount of sugar to taste. If you have time, you can simmer all the ingredients except the yuzu. After it cools, mix in the yuzu juice. It's also fine to make it without the yuzu, and it's also delicious made with sushi vinegar. (Use 4-5 tablespoons and add sugar to taste).See. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

"Kouhaku" means "red and white". The combination of these two colors symbolizes something congratulatory, so it's often used in special dishes for a new year. Of course, it can also be eaten any other time as well. I love both the sweet and sour taste, and especially the texture!
